But transporting people short distances by aircraft if highly inefficient .
I think I read that you can travel london to glasgow quicker by train than by air if you include the travel time to airports and the wait to book in.
My question is why is it that successive governments have given preferential treatment to our least cost effective means of transport,whilst at the same time ignoring any help for our road transport industry when 90% of our goods are moved by these means.
In not assisting them the cost of living for all our citizens rises with fuel increases.

While the whole idea of cutting fuel taxes is opposed by the environment lobby - indeed one of its biggest gripes is the lack of duty and VAT on aircraft fuel.

The air transport industry is a waste of space and resources.
I never use my bus pass on the grounds that the bleeding buses never come when you want them.
